Freakin' Tandy. :-( The closest I've been able to find is that Nuge's RAM-ROM file reports that MAKTXT does NOT set the open-file bit in the directory, but doesn't say which bit that is. :-( > What are you looking at in the NEC tech ref? Like you recommended, all the file-handling-from-Assembly stuff. The NEC tech ref is a bit chatty, but the Engrish makes it amusing not annoying. But it is very clear that when you mess around with a file it should be marked as OPEN. If that's what I need to do to cut down the cold-starts/hour ratio then that's what I'll do. :-) On one hand, this all is a little beyond my immediate goal -- to test the file functions to make sure that the C call is properly converted into the ROM call. But I don't want to be giving out broken sample/test code either! It is, after all, my great hope that somebody uses this library to make a useful M100 program!
